The past weekend proved uneventful. I certainly didn't do much of anything. I have, however, mastered the art of the nap and practiced my new specialty diligently over the entire weekend. Although I say this in jest I have been doing a lot of sleeping and napping. I don't know why I should be so tired but I am. I still have the feeding tube and have been making a little effort to wean myself from it. Food still has no taste and is no longer one of the enjoyable aspects of my life. Did you know that Baby Food tastes like crap? Well, it does. It could be a Marketing Department's worst nightmare. I have discarded the Baby Spinach as it looks like and tastes like Baby poo. (You'll note my scat comments are appropriate to age level at which they are being directed) I digress. I have also added Ensure to my diet. It too has no strong taste but it's in a small can and I can handle it easily. I am still having two feeding tube meals a day
Nurse R has just called to advise it is 12:45 and that I needed to make a meal selection by 1:00. I told her to call me back at One. I will have no more of an idea at that time than I do now. [we call this Stall Technique I ] Now I must seriously check the pantry to see what if anything appeals to me. As I suspected, nothing. Drat, there's the phone. Amazing how time flies by when you're having fun. I shall have a chocolate Ensure for lunch. Doesn't that sound yum? Maybe I'll bake some scones; then after that it will be nap time again. . Yes, time does fly by.

Do you want me to make you something? Of course if you posted how horrible it tasted for all to read I would be furious so maybe I should wait to cook for you :) I hope you will continue to improve, even if baby steps (going with the baby and baby food theme).
